    My name is Philippe and my wife's name is Sophie. We're from1 Recently we were faced with a 2situation while traveling by car in the mountains with our hired(雇佣的) driver. Just as we began to doze(打盹), the car made a strange, loud noise and then3working.

    We tried communicating with the driver but with little4because he couldn't speak French. He tried to tell us with body language that he was going to get help and then he left.

    We were in a poor area, with5houses in sight. We started to bear the cries of wild animals Sophie was very afraid. We didn't have much food and it was getting 6and darker I began to lose7 Should we leave the car? Would our driver ever8? Was he a trustworthy man? We were very worried.

    A couple of hours passed.9 the headlights from another car appeared in the dark. A man got out of the car. Finding us cold and hungry, he kindly asked us to10his car.

    11we left, he put a note on the windshield of the car with his phone number on it. Then he drove us to a nearby village, and we met his family. His cousin spoke French and he 12us tea and local foods.13asked us questions and they were excited to have unexpected guests.

    Later that evening, the phone rang. It was our14 He had kept his word and fixed the car.

    I will15forget the warmth we received on that day because we depended on a complete stranger for help.

    Once upon a time, there was 1 old farmer. He loved money very much. He kept a lot of gold coins(金币)but 2 used them; he 3 not give them to others. He put them into a 4 box and put it in the ground. He came to the 5 every day to look at it. This made him happy.

    6, when he came to the place, he could not find the 7^. He became very, very sad. He began to cry.8 a man came to him and said, "Don't cry. Put a stone in the ground instead, and 9⁾ it is a box of gold coins. A stone will be still the same, 10 when the coins were there, you never used them. "

    One day, my lite daughter Annie came to me with a difficult problem. "Helen hates me!" she cried. "She wants me only to be her 1.You tell Helen that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!"

    Oh! I looked at her for a few 2wondering what to do, when suddenly an idea came to me.

    I picked up two 3from the living room. I put the small basket inside the big one and said. "When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. The lite one is 4.The big one is mine. Your little basket is inside mine.5do you think that is?"

    She looked at me 6and said nothing

    I continued, "Your little basket is in mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn't do for yourself. I fed you, bathed you and I7 everything else you couldn't do on your own.8 I put your basket in mine. As you grew older, when you learnt to tie your shoes, that went in your basket You 9want me to tie your shoes now, right?"

    She said softly, "No, I can tie my own shoes."

    As you grow older, there will be 10things you must do by yourself." As I spoke, I took her basket out of mine and handed it to her." You will finally 11 your own basket with things only you can do, like deciding who you want to be friends with, what college you will go to, who you will marry."

    She 12it for a while and said," I understand. There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket."

    I hugged her and continued, "One day when I become 13, you will take things out of my basket and place them into your basket. Finally, you'll take my basket. Just like I do for my mom and grandmother now." I gently 14my basket with hers.

    Life is a 15. As she watched the little basket in my hand and smiled, she understood

    One day a young man Gary asked his father why he wasn't able to reach all of his goals. With a smile，his father listened1Gary's story and told him，"Come to help me boil a kettle（水壶）of water!"

    Gary saw a big kettle2 next to small stove（火炉）. He3the kettle with water and started with a fire. the kettle was too4when the wood burned up, the water did not boil. He ran out to get5wood.

    When he returned, the water had6turned cold." How can I boil the water? "He asked himself. Then he learned his7 and prepared more wood in advance. Then the water boiled quickly.

    "If there is not enough wood, 8 would you boil the water?" his father asked. Gary thought for a moment but shook his head.

    "Well, then just pour out some water!" his father said. Gary9thoughtfully.

    "At first, you set too many goals," said his father. "It's just like the large kettle full of water. You didn't have enough wood，10 you couldn't boil the water. If you want to make the water boil，then you will have to either pour some out or prepare more wood!"
